Source Modes

Range Switching without Discontinuity

The R6243/6244 has four source modes DC, pulse, DC

sweep, and pulse sweep. The sweep can be selected three types
of mode such as linear, log, and random (arbitrary waveform
generation by user programming).

The voltage and current source ranges can be changed without

lowering the output to zero from the level before switching.
This allows no discontinuity at the output and reduces adverse
effects on devices with hysteresis or high dielectric constant.

Range Switching without Lowering the Output to Zero

Log Sweep

Low Noise

Random Sweep

The R6243/6244 can generate a pattern for a device test without exchanging data with an external controller. Further it can
read out measurement results from the memory after the test.
Note: The pulses across polarities cannot be generated.

The basic requirements for power supply performance are

accuracy of the voltage/current source and measuring against
the noise added on the output voltage/current. The
R6243/6244 has a minimum-noise design effective for the case
susceptible to power noise and input signals of DC amplifier.
The R6243/6244 is the perfect power supply for a linear IC,
optical device, or mobile communication amplifier.
30 V Range (DC to 20 MHz)

Source/Measurement Timing

In pulse and sweep modes, the source and measurement timings are synchronous and the measurement is permitted after a
specified time from trigger.
Setting the measure delay (Td) permits a measurement after a
specified time from the end of the pulse such as stress tests.

For a transistor, FET characteristics test

For a battery charge and discharge test

In a transistor or FET characteristics test, two units of

R6243/6244 can be used for simultaneous measurement. The
R6243/6244 controls the generation timings of the drain and
gate voltage to protect a device from stress. It can measure Id
and Ig simultaneously.

The R6243/6244 is available for a battery charge and discharge

test at constant current (CC) or constant voltage (CV) by DC
or pulse applications. For a pulse charge and discharge test,
measurement is necessary while and after the pulse application.
Two units of R6243/6244 can be used in parallel operation for
measurement at the above two points and to increase the current capacity up to 20 A.
